Brian Bistrong Closes Braeburn and Returns to Bouley

Brian Bistrong, who, as Eater reported, closed his restaurant Braeburn in Greenwich Village over the weekend, says he has gone back to working with David Bouley. He had worked with Mr. Bouley for seven years before taking jobs at the Harrison and elsewhere, and then opening Braeburn.

“The impact of closing Braeburn has not hit me yet,” he said. It was not doing as well as expected, he added. “My priority has been securing jobs for my staff. It was a small restaurant and we were like family. I’ve gotten positions for all but one as of now.”
